    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    I will check into that more tomorrow. Going from memory, I thought this was what I needed to do. I have read the help file but need to go through it again.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    How to set the black and white mode to come on when the cameras are in IR mode and how to set up Black and White mode?

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    New issue. I haven't had any alerts all afternoon. Now that it is dark and the cameras are in night vision IR mode, they're going off from the headlights of the cars coming around the corner down the street.

    Early-gen i5 for Blue Iris server?

    I haven't had updates enabled since Microsoft started spamming Win10 as a critical update in Win7. As far as AV goes, MSE does a pretty good job with that and is very low profile on the system. While I completely understand what it is that you are saying, another PC isn't in the budget right...

    Early-gen i5 for Blue Iris server?

    Ahh.. I see. I was under the impression that dropped frames are just that, 1/59.94 second missing from the picture for each frame dropped.. Tearing is usually cause by issues with the video processor not being fast enough or an issue with codecs. But if the camera is transmitting without failure...

    Early-gen i5 for Blue Iris server?

    There's always the option to up the priority of a process so that it doesn't drop frames.. Drive back up to an external location or at least a drive on one of my other systems is probably better than doing a NAS or RAID anyhow. There's no substitute for a good back up plan. I can set that for...

    Early-gen i5 for Blue Iris server?

    Got it. I'll get to that in time for sure. I'll probably go with a SFF with a single storage drive and tuck it in the corner someplace. As far as the stinking mail goes, we have those stoopid gang mail boxes so the thieves can knock off the whole street at once. As nobody else (people across...

    Early-gen i5 for Blue Iris server?

    I'll get there in time. Woopie! Another Build on the horizon! Right now though, things are going smooth. My cams are only 2MP 1080p but I do have some of the settings tuned up in Blue Iris though. I will tweak it as I need to down the road. I know I'm the noob but why a dedicated PC when I've...

    Early-gen i5 for Blue Iris server?

    Wow!! Don't fight guys! I run a self built i5 Haswell 4670k on a Gigabyte Z97x Socket 1150 board that I built almost 3 years ago now. Win 7x64 Pro and 16 Gb RAM along with a Samsung EVO 850Pro SSD. I'm seeing cpu under 20% with two cameras right now AND I run this machine as a media server...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    That's what I meant.. Sorry, still new to these systems. Thanks very much. I've made those settings and haven't had a text or email since. I'm monitoring the screen via RDP as I'm at work right now but I will see soon what happens when cars pass by and more importantly when my wife pulls in the...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    OK. I set the hotspot to a smaller area than the zone figuring I was going to catch a thief but I probably have it getting an occasional wind gust blowing branches into the hotspot. I will set the Make Time down to a minute or less and remove the hotspot and see what happens, reporting back the...

    My cameras are Monoprice PID12443 (Hikvision Bullet Camera DS-2CD2620F-IS) BTW.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    That is an attempt to stop there being so many triggers.. Our street is a feeder street to a few other streets, one that goes through to another neighborhood and nearby school which causes a lot of pass through traffic. I'll tone it down a bit but I did catch a cat strolling across the lawn...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    Hmm.. I just checked a couple other recordings I have and it isn't masked as above??? I'm still getting a lot of false positives though. It is recording when nothing is moving inside the Zones I've set. I even tried excluding the trees that move around with the wind. I'm perplexed

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    In the motion sensor screen there's a check box for "Black-Out Masked Areas" which I have not ticked.. I set up exactly as seen but am getting the areas outside Zone A blacked out in my recordings.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    I posted while you were replying. I do not have the mask button checked. The last shot is the only zone I have set up but I also have a hotspot across the walk and the driveway.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    I've been toying with the Motion Sensor settings in BI and have excluded the street in front of my house but when I view video recorded that whole area is masked off too. I'd like to have the whole picture and thought this was for setting the area where motion will trigger a recording and send...

    Set up alert/trigger to send command to Vera / Z-wave?

    There's a BI plug in in the Vera App Store that should do the trick.

    How can I trigger a siren or strobe light with BI

    How about using a Vera Z-Wave controller with a Z-Wave alarm and then using the BI plug in to connect BI to Vera?
